OVERVIEW

++++++++

The 7th International Conference on Heterogeneous Networking for Quality,
Reliability, Security and Robustness (QShine 2010) will focus on the
research challenges associated to the design and implementation of
large-scale wired and wireless networks and distributed systems. The aim of
this conference is to bring together research and practitioners to present
and share the latest results in the areas of performance, configuration,
cross-layer approaches, scalability, resilience and survivability of
large-scale heterogeneous networks and distributed systems. Following the
tradition of the previous QShine meetings, QShine 2010 will feature
prominent invited speakers as well as papers by top researchers in the
field.

Original papers addressing performance optimization and Quality of Service
support, ranging from the link layer to the application layer, over
large-scale wired and wireless networks and distributed system, are
solicited. Authors are encouraged to submit theoretical and/or experimental
results of significance. The scope of the conference includes, but is not
limited to:

* Quality of Service provisioning in wired and wireless networks and
distributed systems

* Design, implementation or architectures related to QoS-enabled networks
and distributed systems

* QoS routing in wired, peer-to-peer, overlay, and wireless networks and
distributed systems

* QoS-aware service composition in distributed systems

* QoS in WLAN, WPAN, WMAN and WiMAX (IEEE 802.11/15/16/20)

* QoS in wireless sensor and ad hoc networks

* QoS in cognitive radio networks

* QoS in green networking

* QoS for smart grid

* QoS in Vehicular Networks

* QoS support across heterogeneous wired and wireless sub-networks

* MAC protocols with QoS support in wireless networks

* Topology control for QoS support in wireless networks

* QoS and survivability in mobile environments

* Scheduling, resource management, queue management, and admission control

* QoS adaptation, modeling and measurements

* Game-theoretic aspects in wired, peer-to-peer, overlay, and wireless
networks and distributed systems

* Incentive engineering in wired, peer-to-peer, overlay, and wireless
networks and distributed systems

* Pricing, billing, and resource allocation in wired, overlay and wireless
networks

* Traffic analysis, traffic engineering, and traffic shaping in
heterogeneous environments

* Security protocols and algorithms in wired, overlay and wireless networks

* Scalability of large-scale overlay and wireless networks

* Resilience of overlay and wireless protocols

* Cross-layer protocol design in wireless networks

* Cross-layer performance optimization for energy, network lifetime, and
capacity

Submission Instructions

+++++++++++++++++++++++

QShine 2010 invites submission of manuscripts that present original
materials and that have not been previously published or under review by
another conference or journal. Prospective authors are encouraged to submit
a PDF version of the full paper in ACM conference proceedings format, which
are limited to 7 single-spaced two-column pages (including all figures and
references) in a 9 point font. All paper submissions will be handled
electronically through the EasyChair system at
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=qshine2010

Publication

+++++++++++

All submitted papers will go through a peer review process. Accepted papers
will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes of the Institute for
Computer Sciences, Social Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering
(LNICST) series. During the review process, all reviewers have to indicate
whether the overall scientific quality of the paper they reviewed entitles
the paper to candidate for the Best Paper award. Among the best candidates,
the Program Chair and the General Chair select the Best Papers presented at
QShine 2010. The award is based on relevance, content, significance,
originality and presentation. Best Papers are rewarded with a Conference
Best Paper Certificate.
